    Utah 2010

    how hard is it to grow your own tobacco and prepare it for pipe smoking? considering how heavily it is taxed, doesnt the government want their cut? i am asking because i have heard of people producing their own biodiesel fuel and getting busted by the IRS for not paying taxes on it. if that is...

    Legislation up forbidding smoking in your own home

    read the comments in the article this thread was name on. i liked this one in particular- "Too bad idiotic beurocracy and the whiney public can't be done away with as easily as our personal liberties."

    C&D Blends- Virginia Gentleman

    i got this as a free sample (from marscigars.com) when i bought my uber badass calabash pipe. It is cut in rather large flakes and has a rich nutty aroma to it. it smokes like it smells- really nutty in flavor, very rich. forgive me for not knowing the afficionados terminology, but that was...

    Boycott List

    it is not related to smoking, but if you will allow me to post, i would like to tell people to boycott skyline chili (if you are in the cincinnati area) since it seems that they are against customers who are licensed to carry concealed weapons, as every resaurant of theirs has a no-gun sign.

    Political Inclination

    null well, i was a little closer to center than i imagined, however i was in the quadrant i expected. i do like this description of political views. things arent always left and right.

    Political Inclination

    i believe the government should be treated like a two year old child- if you see them with something in their hands that they shouldnt have, you take it away from them and send them to their room with no dinner. they cannot be trusted with the crayons they have been given. answer the phones...

    Why Did You Start?

    i was always attracted to the more offbeat methods of tobacco use. call me an individual or a non-conformist or whatever, but i just felt that people smoked cigarettes for the wrongs reasons- because they HAD too. all i saw were people having nic fits and such, and i thought it should be a...

    Lost Weekend

    speaking of sports- has anyone ever been to a roller derby? if not, i can only describe it as similar to football, however it is gorgeous girls in fishnets and roller skates, pushing and shoving and hitting each other. a lot of fun! i am not much of a sports fan, myself (i can get by on pro...

    Just bought a calabash- review/comment

    yeah, probably. either way, it smoked really well, however i would not be able to tell a good pipe from a bad pipe unless it was outrageously bad. i will say this- while smoking it, i never thought of anything i didnt like about it! thank you for the welcome- i am fairly new to pipe smoking but...

    hey guys! new here! question though

    love smokign my pipe! had a few questions though- smoking a pipe can last for quite some time, is it common practice to just carry around a pipe and smoke the same bowl throughout the day? do they make caps or something to keep it from burning your pocket?
